what if...

A discussion I had with some guys at school was the probability/improbability/possibilities of travelling faster than light. By the quantum theory (or whatever theory it is) as velocity reaches the speed of light, mass grows closer and closer to infinity; which, as one can see, is really really big. But, everyone seems to forget that it is only a theory. What if Einstein is wrong? (or at least partially) No one ever seems to question him. His formulas and crap may work for speeds less than the speed of light, but what if there's an equation that could apply to speeds greater? I for one am not convinced that we can't travel faster than light. Just because light is the fastest speed we know of don't mean that there isn't a speed faster. People either 1) just think we can't 'cause a "really smart" guy said we couldn't, 2) are afraid of something never attempted, or 3) see a limit that has been labeled "the fastest speed" for so long that it is ingrained into people's heads that it can't be topped. Maybe I'm wrong, it wouldn't be the first time, but I'm a skeptic: I try to see evry side something; good or bad. I question things. I try to find ways where evryone else has given up or abandoned. But there is that question that if we were to exceed light speed, what would it be like? Well, I'm not scientist, physicist, or any other -ist; but I can use logical thinking (even if it may be found to be flawed later. logic's no law). If you think about it, if you were to travel faster than light, you would arrive at your destination before your image did. In essence, there would be two of you; or two images anyway. Albiet the other would be going light speed ('cause that's only how fast light can go after all) and you wouldn't really be able to see it anyway. There were some more things, but right now I'm too tired to gather any more thoughts. Just remember, be open-minded; but not so open minded your brains fall out... I heard that once.

.

Alright, now that our more-than-likely-completely-boring skeptical analysis of scientic matters is done... maybe someone will actually read it; and maybe someone will agree with me. Of course, Austin will be the first to say I'm a big doofus. :)

p.s. Austin, have you ever noticed

that your name is always

bold and gold?

a helpful hand

Yeah. I got bored, so I thought that this would be fun to paint...

which it was!

light the fuse and hit the deck

Well, these are the general scematics for the rockets that could be fired out of the Cannon.
.
This is the first:

I initially thought that the center was a good place to put the payload, but changed my mind.

((next slide please))

Design Two:

To shift the primary weight to the front, I decided that the payload being in the nose would be a good idea. There is also the fact that you can fit more in there.

((next slide please))

Rocket design three:

Changing the shape of the nose slightly to allow for more space, I thought that making a core of explosives surrounded by some sort of shrapnel. Just a thought that occured to me.
((end slide show))

((Disclaimer: No representation is made that any of the images you see will ever be put into use... but no representation is made that it won't either...))
((But the Cannon itself is a definite maybe: that things just cool. Just gotta get the time))

~duck

obsession, or just really cool?

Correct me if I'm wrong, Fuzzyhair, but is this pretty much the general design scematics we would use for our supersonic potato cannon?And this is my scope idea. That I do remember.

that looks right. for general guideline parameters anyway.

dream on

You know, people say all the time "I wish my dreams would come true" or "If only dreams were real" and stuff like that, but if you think about it, life would be really really really bizarre if that were the case. I mean, think of all the weird things that would be happening evryday. There was something I was going to try to get at with this, but it escaped me. That's enough I guess.

.

just a thought

~duck

a snack for your brain

if there are flying squirrels...

...and ground squirrels...

...why aren't there water squirrels??

~duck, the annihilator

i'm just a bug on the windshield of life

The title is one of the "Best of the Worst" country song titles. Funny funny. Anyways, to what I was going to say/write/type...

.

They never cease to amaze me. Girls. One thing in particular. Somehow one can manage to be completely loyal to her boyfriend or still really like a particular person but at the same time they're gawking at evry "hot" guy they see. It kinda bugs me in a way. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's bad for a girl to think some guys's a good lookin' fella. It's just that most of you (girls) don't really realize how that affects the guys around you that are your friends. How would you like it if you had a boyfriend that always pointed hot girls out to you, and almost never said how pretty you were? Speaking for me ('cause I don't know how all other guys feel) but it can be kind of a self esteem reducer. Not really sure of any other way to put it or express it. Oh well. And another thing. A little off topic, but not too much. How is it that a guy only seems to be hot/cute/whatever if you don't know who he is? food for thought.

.

Well, I hope that I haven't completely lost any of you with this.

Cracker Rap

It's once again time for what I am referring to as 'Cracker Rap'...it should be awesome. Not really. Today's attempt will to be the next Eminem while mainitain a christian value. There's no way this will work. But here goes..:

There is not much you can do to phase me,
people even think I'm a little bit crazy,
but actually, as a matter of factually
I'm on my meds see, the reason why I gotta be
talking about the little things, small things that come between
you and me, living, somewhere in between two dreams,
laying under the starry seas, listening to the breeze
as we both see, all the stars that are shooting falling
our destiny comes a calling, so why do we all keep stalling
from hauling, our dreams up to our own calling.
and make them something that we believe,
and try to live our lives with simplicity
fighting for freedom and everything, maybe it's just me
but I'm sick of watching the t.v., listening to the news report the casualties
from over seas, 10 more marines, killed by suicidal Iraqi's
in other news from Tennessee, a man goes to jail for jaywalking
i dunno, maybe it's me, but I think the soldiers are more deserving
of the respect that they aren't getting. So we had better just start forgetting
the tiny things that we are letting, take over the things that we are betting
are more important than setting down, and thinking about,
the people whose lives that are over now
Instead of the game on Saturday, how could we have fallen this far
we used to worship the stripes and stars, we would watch as the whirled, as they twirled,
watching as the flag would swirl, now whats happening to our world,
when we would all rather know, about Paris Hilton's newest sex video,
so go and blow it our your hole,because on this globe,
people are dying for a cause that we don't know, or appreciate
because we're spending all of our time wrapped in hate,
our fellow americans lets relate, reach a state and conjugate
as we unite, in the fight i think its time that we spread the light
the only way to stop this right, is spark the love that we ignite
so lets stop the hate tonight, grow together and we'll be burning brighter
than any Iraqi oil feild on fire, its getting late and my spirits tire, but maybe my rap will inspire
an opprotunity for you to desire to give repect to who I admire,
for giving their lives for you and me, giving their lives overseas, for our great country.

Yeah that was awfully long, but well....maybe you enjoyed. Holla.

awesome stuff here

This is 3 Doors Down's 17 Days cd. Listen up, it's good stuff.

Chrapt?

I have decided atleast for a few posts to rap my entries on here, just because life is a little more fun that way.

Why don't more people read our deep posts, though most are jokes they still rock the boat, things from cars to bars, and I'm here to hollar if you don't read you'll catch SARS, and you dont want that, trust me its bad. Should you ever turn to reading these, it will most definitly prevent you ever cathing a disease, so cleverer better measure up to whatever because no matter how tall, whether you're fat or you're small, its equal opprotunity open to all, the casting call line forms down the hall, should you wanta join the elite, send a request to join the exclusivity, of the faithful few who threw Larryanity down on you, so should this rap light a fire, and joining the team becomes you're one desire, if your bail doesn't match up to the scale, if you wanna join drop Duck an E-mail. Because tho we we be a tight nit group, there's plenty of room for you to join the troupe, so this is taking a remarkable amount of time and energy, so i think I'll quit for the evening. Peace out to all the Gypsies on both sides of the sea, much love to be from the Philosophizing MC.


The most completely and utterly uncalled for post, with the most, Your's truly hosts an annual Duck roast.

Much Love,

Thats right young children, listen unto my words. For what I assuredly say unto you will com to pass and bring righteousness upon you and your household for many generations. For as I speak to you so he speaks to you, that whomever believes upon his name shall be saved into the ever loving arms of the father. Wherever you find yourself, know that he walks with you guiding and comforting you through your trials. For he is great and he is good. He leadeth me beside the slightly still waters and he filleth my cup to the brink, he walks me through the valley of the not-quite-dead. For his stick he found on the wayside it comforts me...He prepares a barbecue for me in front of people I'd rather not be associated with. I will mooch in his house forever.

For I will rap of his loving kindness, and tell you about how we searched to find this, I make a joyful noise about his presence, and tell you about his joyful presents, that bring happiness to many a child, and would make them smile a mile. He created a world for every lady, offered them inspirational gravvy, by giving them their own Inspiration Day, so they would stop complaining everday, about all their terrible household tasks, when really no one cares about that. So girls, I say this to your defiance, you have a brain the third of ours...its science, So when You read this and think me blasphemous, just remember its Larry that guides us. For he is the master of all that is Jones, and now that its friday I'm going home.

"I'm not a baby, I am a man. A man who invented the wheel and built the Eiffel Tower out of metal and brawn. You're just a stupid woman with a brain the third the size of ours....it's science." -Ron Burgundy, Anchorman (yet another Will Ferrell quote)
